Oilers hire Stan Bowman as GM & EVP of Hockey Ops

[Rabid Ranger]

I mean not really that surprised considering they love to go after personalities with baggage. Kane, Perry...

Probably going to hire Quenneville as well if they have a slow start under coach Knob.

....and it would be a great hockey hire.

Babcock was a Grade A asshole, but I don't think that is something that should be lumped in with these pieces of shit.

my point is that the backlash to hiring a guy who covered up sexual abuse of a player + gave the perpetrator a job recommendation that allowed him to go on to assault minors should be far greater than the backlash that the jackets got last year for hiring babcock, which was deafening at the time.

Next thing on Oilers checklist: Bring home Carter Hart.

Forums have a sense of normality and receipts that social media doesn't.
We recognize each other with names, avatars, posting history, etc.
Social media, you're arguing with a new bot or fake account every day.

I LOVE IT HERE

Honestly your bang on there.

There are... apparently tons of Vegas fans on reddit..... I've never felt lonely enough here to find out

I'm sure you'd be singing the same tune if it was your daughter in the photos.

Mailloux faced Sweden justice and suspended by the OHL. He was also 17 at the time.

Comparing him to a grown man in a position of power who allowed another grown man to repeat a sex offense by not saying anytjing is garbage.

Not saying Mailloux is an angel, but mentionning his actions in the same sentence as Bowman and co. is stupid at best.

Everytime this org builds goodwill with the fanbase they're like hey let's f*** it up

 

[No Fun Shogun]

The only people that should like this move are Columbus fans hoping Bowman's still in his bad trades with the BJs phase while still viewing the hiring as gross.

Not surprised one bit, zero morale compass in that organization. Kane, Perry. Anyone else I'm forgetting?

Craig Mctavish killed a 26 year old woman while driving drunk. After being released from prison, the Oilers snapped him up.

"During his prison term, MacTavish became a free agent and signed with the Edmonton Oilers, whom he plans to join in September."

 

[Ugene Magic]

From one washed GM to another. Feels like the organization hates McDavid sometimes lol

 

[vippe]

How did they think this was a good idea.

Most importantly, Bad person
But also, Bad GM

Yeah let's hire this dud.

 

[Bgav]

What a POS organization

 

[Bond]

lol keep rolling the old boys. I was starting to get a little worried with the trades they made this summer.

 

[BlueSeal]

You know that thread that asks something along the lines of 'What would it take to leave your team as a fan for good?'

This it it.

 

[olafsson]

Lmfao

 

[hamzarocks]

Edmonton is McGregor, they absolutely dont give a f***

 

[MOGlLNY]

Good hire!

[CorgisPer60]

I hate this hire, but there's no evidence this happened.

[Phrasing]

f*** Bowman and f*** Oilers. I hope you don’t sniff anywhere near the cup.

 

[UED]

I don't care about the controversy because Brad Aldrich's actions are not his fault but this is the same idiot who traded Artemi Panarin for Brandon Saad which IMO should be a career-ending move. How can you trust him not to trade Draisaitl for Yegor Sharangovich?? He's done it before...you have to supervise him 24/7 to make sure he's not destroying the team, why not just get someone you can trust?

 

[Canucks LB]

Absolutely f***ing sickening, I can’t imagine any Oilers fan defending this, luckily, I have not seen any defend it

 

[Malkinstheman]

The worst part is that they hired a piece of shit and he isn't even good at his job. At least Quenville is good at his job. No idea why teams think losers like Babcock and Bowman are worth the risk
